Hiding My Life (On Hold)

Chapter Fifteen

Clary's POV

*Four Years Later*

"Bitch, let's get back down to the beach!" I laughed at Zoe and pulled on my black cover-up over my sexy black bikini.

"Let's go then!" I went barefoot and hurried into the elevator with my best friends, Zoe, Katie, Sarah, Kaden, Michael and Scott. We happen to be on spring break in Hawaii and I just graduated from Harvard.

I am now nineteen, about to turn twenty in four months. We've been here a week now, but we leave around three AM in two days.

As we began to walk out to the beach, my phone started ringing. "Go on without me, I'll meet you at the chairs." They laughed and kept going while I stopped and answered my phone. "Hello?" I thought that it was my boyfriend, Reid, but a woman scoffed.

"Who the hell is this? Why are you texting my boyfriend?"

"Your boyfriend? Reid is my boyfriend. Is he dating the both of us?"

"Apparently."

"Put him on the fucking phone."

There was a pause and then Reid cleared his throat. "Hello?" He asked nonchalantly, clearly not knowing it was me.

"We are fucking done, you asshole. Delete my number and I'll have your things packed as soon as I get home." I hung up on him and headed to the little tiki bar on the beach, sitting myself down on a barstool.

"What can I get you, beautiful?" I smiled at the bartender.

"Whatever the hell is gonna get me druck faster." He nodded and lined up six shot glasses before filling them with Everclear. Nice.

"Hey, I thought you were gonna meet us at the chair." Scott came up behind me with Zoe hot on his trail.

"Fuck the chair, I'm not going anywhere." I took each shot, one after the other while they gaped at me. "No more two beers a night. Fuck that. Boyfriends suck ass." The bartender filled up my shots again.

"What happened?" Zoe asked, taking the seat next to me.

"He's been cheating on me, so I just broke up with him." I took my shots again, enjoying the burning sensation running down my throat.

"I'm sorry, kid." Scott rubbed my back.

"Yeah, whatever. I need to get shitfaced for once. Who wants to help me?" Scott laughed and ordered up more shots.

"I guess I will."

Jace's POV

My friends and I spent the whole day doing nothing but hitting on women and getting drunk off our asses.

We just got here today, but we're having an amazing time already. It's just me, Jackson, Mason, Noah, Elijah, Grayson, Logan and Owen.

Now, the sun is beginning to set and the boys and I stumbled out to the beach behind our hotel. For some reason, not many people were out here.

An old couple. And, a group of girls with their boyfriends. But, as I looked out to the ocean, a woman with flaming red hair stood waist deep in the water. She held a liquor bottle in her left hand and she threw something into the ocean with her right hand.
